As some of you may already be aware, we have begun construction of a new forum as a rebirth of PHO and continuing on into future projects.
This forum is called Silph Co., and can be found by clicking the banner below. We are in the process of transferring some of our old resources, and the forum is open for posting. It will be sad to see PHO go, but we look forward to a bright future with Silph.
The forums here will be moved to an archive, and the url will redirect to the new site in the coming days/weeks.

Site Talk & SuggestionsIf you need to talk to us about the site or perhaps get help with a problem or make a suggestion, you can do it here. This section is NOT for Rom Hacking questions or anything related to Rom Hacking!

Hello everyone, mewthree9000 here. I've recently been taking some time to contemplate my existence, more specifically my past and my place in the the Pokemon ROM Hacking community and how things have been effected by my absence and the progress of this community in general.

So in a nutshell I've been wondering recently about what we could be doing differently, about the spark we need to light up the hacking community. I have a few thoughts but I do want to hear everyone's opinion*. I know that I have neglected my position in the ROM Hacking community more than a few times in the past. It has never been my intention, but I am still guilty regardless.

I'll be really raw and frank, I made some bad life decisions. More specifically getting married and going through my divorce did in fact almost destroy everything I worked for through my teenage years. It has been an uphill battle to restore my life. I destroyed not only my position in the ROM hacking community, but my education and my career. So this is me admitting that I made bad decisions that effected more than just myself. I am sorry for that.

I hope that those who do lack respect for me can forgive me for being proud and neglectful. I hope that they can learn to respect me once more, and I am willing to work for that respect. Today, I'm making a decision to put my shoes back on, I'm going to be more active and try to fix what I've broken. You all deserve more. That is how I feel.

I do hope great things for the community, if we can somehow make that happen, very few things would make me happier.

Well, we all make mistakes, and we all have times where we regret a lot. I'm glad you were able to verbalize your mistakes and figure out a plan on how to be happier again. I personally never really knew you so I have no grudges against you I also think that the past is the past, and it's okay to look at your mistakes for inspiration, but you should more look at the future and what you want to accomplish. I think that's the key to being happy
